convertible window bad adjusment=rust follow-up Posted by nicknick [Email] ![]() ![]() |
didn't want to hijack the other guys thread. the convertible i just bought has a drivers window that has been replaced, but the stops weren't transferred over to the new glass. this is common where 'glass' guys do the work-most don't know there was a pair of stops on the bottom of the glass anyway. this results in a window that gets hung up on the outside of the rubber, providing a decent sized opening. i guess i should have been more clear. a slight mis-alignment will not let enough water in to overwhelm the door drains, but a window similar to the one i just bought lets buckets in, soaks the floor, which leads to rust. i will be more than happy to show pics once i get the carpet up. now, of course, once i get it to the desert, there will be no-more standing water anywhere on the car (heck, we only get 9" precip a year, mostly snow!), but in seattle the humidity is high enough that stuff doesn't dry out.
this is the second 'vert i have bought that had a damp carpet because of no window stop syndrome.
hope that explains my point.
